Rhea Landry

Rhea Dufour Landry, age 100, a resident of Baton Rouge, passed away on September 16, 2016. Rhea was born in Plaucheville, Louisiana, to Francois Dufour and Maranta Guillory.

They lived for years on Geronimo Street in north Baton Rouge, where they raised three sons, all of which graduated from Redemptorist High School and LSU.
